Kenny, the effort and love for your work shows. It is beautiful, not only the art work but your passion for the subject is present. It is as if you fall in love with him and that shows through in your work. I see the amount of hours that you devote to your work not only this one but also in past pieces. This makes me wonder, I wonder about "burn out" ???

Thank you Bob!

I think I may have hit the burnout point in that Street Sweeper drawing....not particularly that one drawing but the whole sequence of effort, drawings, etc. getting to that point. Working to try to improve and address various aspects of skills with each drawing pushing a bit further etc. I think that is what led to the 5 year hiatus.

I (my muse) do tend to be obsessive in my creative pursuits whether drawing, digital painting, writing poetry/fiction/non-fiction or a variety of other lesser creative avenues. In getting back to drawing with the Oppenheimer and then finishing the Sweeper I'm trying to balance as between writing (poetry/prosepoetry/flash and micro fiction) and the drawing. Admittedly I've been more focused on the drawing the last few weeks but have also written a few poems/pieces. One must follow the muse, but not over the cliff, eh?

Enjoy!

P.S. currently trying to decide what to draw next as I finish this one up!
